The figure on the following page is an abundance histogram for the planktonic foraminiferal microfossils ''Globorotalia menardii'' (s = sinistral) and ''Globorotalia inflata'' from the MSC 160-1 core hole, East Breaks area (data provided by Gerry Ragan, Mobil Exploration and Producing US). The core hole is [[length::0.3 mi]] to the west of the seismic reflection profile shown in Figure 4-19. Data on sediment type and biostratigraphy from core hole MSC 160-1 permits geologic characterizations of both the regionally parallel and locally shingled-clinoform seismic facies.

The figure below contrasts the abundance of sinistral (s) ''Globorotalia menardii (G. menardii)'' with that of ''Globorotalia inflata (G. inflata)'' in each sample. Note the alternating pattern of abundance.
